Blankets on Sale? Any Suggestions?
Blankets on Sale? Any Suggestions?
Hey All-
So I thought if you bought at this time of year you'd get to enjoy off-season prices, but so far I haven't run into that (Smartpak, Dover, etc). Anyone have any suggestions? Is that only at store front tack shops? I've been waiting to get a wardrobe for Dallas The Rescue Pony...

http://www.cheshirehorse.com/ (their website is running slow so I can't look now, but I've gotten Weatherbeetas there for a good price)
http://www.sstack.com/horse-blankets-an ... ed-v-free/ - I switched to the Schneider's blankets for my rotund Appy mare, but I'm liking them for my big-shouldered warmblood filly as well.

If he could wear a 78, I have a brand new, still with tags, Weatherbetta turnout sheet that I could let go cheaply. It retails for $115.

I love Schneiders! If they have something in stock you want and you don't want to pay shipping on it, I'll gladly deliver. I'm traveling from NC to Ohio next week.
Re: Blankets on Sale? Any Suggestions?
Thanks guys I will check it all out. I guess I was expecting see banners of whatever percentage off on the sites...guess I made that up and/or am remembering local tack shops dropping prices once spring hit to make room in the shop?
Dallas will need smaller than your blanket RTJ but thx for checking.

SS Tack and Big Dee's do drop their prices in their brick and mortar stores, I'm local to both of them (well localish, an hour away). I assume Dover does that now that they have storefronts as well. You might check Dover in Charlotte.

Check Chick's Saddlery, too, www.chicksaddlery.com
I'm a fan of Weatherbeeta, and they have good prices on WB and their generic version.

I have found some nice, new Rambo's on Ebay and also Bit of Britain recently had a sale, not sure if it's still running.
I'm loyal to Rambo, but I do need just a couple of thin stable sheets. I tried a friends cotton ones and I don't like how they "stick" to the horse, I also think from the size on the blanket to how it fits, they shrink!
I'm heading to Ohio in the next couple of weeks, so I may hit Schneider's and Big Dee's. I just need something inexpensive when the temps fluctuate.

Did you know Big Dee's moved a couple of miles into the old Walmart? Their store is huge!

Viscountessleftfield: No - I've not been to the Big Dee's yet. Now, you have me excited to get there....I only hope I have time while I'm there (visiting family). They usually aren't too happy when I want to do anything "horsey"....LOL
Sadly, I missed the Columbus Equine Affaire this year, that's normally where I stock up for the year.
I see it's only 30 minutes from my nephews, but like Schneider's they are not open on Sundays ! I'm hoping that my sister will take me over on Saturday, which from her house it's only 45 min.
I think the big problem will be them giving me enough time to really SHOP while I'm there. It's always, hurry up, lets go! LOL
I hate going to new stores - my head just spins and it takes me forever to figure out where everything is! If it's HUGE, I'm in trouble! LOL
With two horses, I need a ton of stuff..yeah, right.....

It's super nice and huge. I'm more of a Schneider's fan than Big Dee's, but Big Dee's is closer to me.
